Fat Tony’s AI picks
1. 2. Kraken Western
Fat Tony sez: barrier two, fresh win and finds the front – crackin' favourite to pounce.
2. 1. Suta's Delight
Fat Tony sez: box one speed, honest form — will force the issue and hit the line hard.
3. 8. Ritzy Ruth
Fat Tony sez: in-form runner, can lead or storm home from deep — respect the Bendigo burnout.
4. 7. Elsa Escargot
Fat Tony sez: lit up at Bendigo before, midfield pop and a sneaky top-four chance if room appears.
5. 3. Super Max
Fat Tony sez: backmarker with a kick at Shepparton — can slice into the placings late.

Race preview
SUTA'S DELIGHT (1) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 2 length second (23.10) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Rates highly and will give a great sight. RITZY RUTH (8) was quickly into stride and found the front last start to record an all-the-way win (24.22) at Bendigo in a T3 Grade 7 over 425m. Deserves serious consideration again. KRAKEN WESTERN (2) box seated early before forging to the lead turning and lifting to score (23.04) at this track in a Mix 6/7 over 390m. Leading player again.
